anybody in a band, rap, or produce there own music?
just starting a thread to know more about who im writing with.

i produce my own music, nothing big.
i use free downloads to make my instramentals.
im not saying i'll be on m-tv anytime soon,
but i like the feeling of being able to jam out my own sounds.

oh yeah, its rap, but i listen to everything

I've been in several bands (punk, rockabilly, honky-tonk) and performed solo quite a bit. I'm a singer/songwriter and have put a couple of songs in movies (Hard Promises, Stone Cold)

But I don't play as often as I like and I've focused my writing efforts into screenwriting lately. I miss performing, but don't have the time. I'm a dad and husband and a writer, my plate is just a little too full at the moment.

Afriend of mine plays guitar and I play bass.We use some drum program and mixer to make our music.We haven't played any shows or anything like that, we have just made some cd's for our personal use.We try to play mostly punk but other influences always slip in.We call ourselves "Ready, Set, Gringo!".

I've produced quite a bit of electronic music, ranging from dark ambient to goa trance. I have absolutely no confidence in my vocals, however, so I sing rarely and only under heavy distortion. It's really just a hobby. I give out stuff to my friends, but I have no illusions that I'm ever going to be successful at it, especially in a country that's overall hostile to electronic music.
